[1][2] Kavoukjian graduated from the American University of Beirut in 1934 majoring in Architectural engineering, then worked as the chief municipal architect of Mosul, Iraq during the period from 1941 to 1947.

[citation needed] Armenologist, archimandrite Gomidas Hovnanian in a 2006 interview described Kavoukjian as "a talented scientist" who had written a research on "The ancestral home of the Celtic tribes and Celtic-Caucasian connections".

[10] Kavoukjian's book Armenia, Subartu And Sumer is inspired by the Armenian hypothesis of Indo-European origins.

It seeks to establish an ethnic Armenian identity for the "Armani" mentioned by Naram-Sin, for "Armani-Subari connections" and "Armani-Subari-Sumer relations".

The book has been called a "chauvinist attempt to equate the Proto-Armenians with various mentioned peoples in cuneiform and classical sources" by P. Kohl and G. Tzetzkhladze (1996).
